Hello, I require your help in making a decision to buy a new motherboard to replace my previous broken one. The motherboards I am stuck between are the: MSI 970 gaming; MSI 970a Krait editon and the ASUS M5A97 EVO R2.0. I am more inclined to buy the ASUS because I know it is more reliable but...

Ok thanks! I'm getting a new Gpu on wed, I'll try that and let you know how it goes!

I've still got the disk that came when I bought windows. Could I use that disk. Also by doing so will I need to do a fresh install of windows?

Alright, but will the bios load as I don't get an display, not even the bios

Oh Ok. I have got a second hard drive, do you think I should plug that in and try it.

I was really precautions when building it and the computer has been built and working for around a month. I did change some fans around in my case a few days before the problems started, but it was working afterwards. The last time I shut it down when it was working I was doing windows updates...

A brief description of my problem: When I power up my custom built PC everything lights up and all the fans start spinning. My monitors detect a signal as I am able to select it in the input menu. The only thing different to 'normal' is that the fan of the GPU revs up, like it is trying to...

I have just tried booting the computer and noticed that there is no light from my mouse, Im not sure what stage of startup it normally lit up at, but it isnt lighting now. I just thought this might help for ideas.

My mobo doesnt have any video outputs and I dont think my cpu supported video anyway. Is it likely that the GPU is dead despite the fan spinning on it?

DeathRabit: I have unpluged and repluged the gpu but I never tried cleaning it, I will try that. Sizzling: Yes it was working the Day before the problems started. I remember I was doing windows updates before the problem, The 'update and restart' option. I think I did that, then I did it again...

A brief description of what happens: When I press the power button, everything lights up and all the fans spin but no video output is picked up on either of my (2) monitors. Both monitors detect a signal (ie. Allow me to select the option in the input menu) however there is no display. My main...

I have an fx 6300 CPU so the GPU is the only source for video. I primarily use the pc for gaming and the card is fine for the games I play. I havnt got any paperwork and no clue when it was bought as it was given to me. The card doesnt need another cooling system, it stays around 30c on idle But...

I'll just give a brief run down of my problem. When using my custom pc my GPU (EVGA GT 630) rattles and vibrates causing an awful noice! I have noticed that one of the blades has broken off and was wandering whether that might be the cause. I have touched the card, holding my finger on it, and...

Thanks everyone for your help! Turns out I knew hardly anything about SSDs... I've decided I'm going to wait before buying a SSD, primarily so I can save up to get a better one.

Thanks guys for your help! How easy/ quick is it to transfer a file (such as a game) from HDD to SDD (and vice versa). Also, can I keep transfering data (eg. When I want to play a game, put it on SSD, and when I finish playing, put it back on HDD to save space) or is that not recommended and I...
